Booked Solid with what was taught in the first couple of classes.

“By using just the strategies taught in the first couple of classes, I am a true entrepreneur success story because I got Booked Solid two weeks into the program! I’m still getting a huge flood of new clients, and now I only take on the projects that I want to work on, and I have even have a waiting list of clients who have already sent in their contracts! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the program will bring!”

Smarter marketing tactics increased Christine’s clients 300% after just 6 weeks into the small business coaching program.

“It only takes a few minutes to realize Michael’s sincere desire to help you get more clients and be a small business success story. His passion is contagious. Marketing and acquiring new clients was very overwhelming. We were going in many different directions with little success. This  program was easy to follow and implement. Just six weeks into the course we had a 300% increase in clients. What we learned in the first week of program was worth the cost of the entire program. This course is worth 10 times what we paid. The return is priceless. I’m really one of Michael Port’s entrepreneur success stories!”

Booked solid with “ideal clients” in only 7 weeks, now that’s a small business success story.

“What an inspiring, motivating and challenging program you have created! From the first week until the last, I received invaluable tips and techniques to grow my business and myself. Through your thought-provoking exercises and the group support, I was booked solid within 7 weeks! I credit my business growth to the carefully crafted sequence of classes where you urged me to release those clients who did not fit the profile of my ideal client so that I could clear the way for those who do, while designing the systems to build a strong relationship with them. Your reasoning was sound and your track record of success with hundreds of other entrepreneur success stories like me was high. I learned the value of thinking even bigger about my purpose and my passion and found the courage to respond with increased enthusiasm and planning. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Money was pouring out, the small business intensive coaching was a last resort. Now clients come every day; another small business success story!

“The program is the most amazing and complete business building program I have taken! I used to struggle in my practice and money was just pouring out. In desperation I took class after class with well known gurus in business building, but I didn’t see any results. Now I have new clients signing up for my services every day, and they are the high quality clients I love to work with! Thanks to Michael and his astonishing program, I have collaborative friends all over the world and a waiting list with clients who want to work with me. My business has really taken off and I can focus on developing more of what my clients need. Michael’s program is the only business building program I feel 100% confident to recommend! Don’t spend a nickel on other programs! You only need one, and it is Booked Solid!”

Group synergy creates an upward momentum that creates positive energy and ensures small business success.

“Michael Port’s “Booked Solid” program has been one of the BEST things I have EVER done for my business! My private coaching practice was BOOKED SOLID in two months, with the help of Michael’s coaching and the FANTASTIC support and mastermind network created by all of the participants. I’ve made friends and business associates with other entrepreneur success stories that are going to be with me for life, and the great generosity shown by every person involved has been astounding. The entire group’s continuous upward momentum created a positive attraction field that virtually ensured my small business success. And the small tweaks I needed to make to my online offer and networking strategies were both easy and fun to implement.

If you are seeking top level business strategies (and be one of Booked Solid’s entrepreneur success stories with a network of amazing people doing awesome things in the world), do yourself a favor and get involved with Michael and the Booked Solid community – you’ll be glad you did!”

The quality of service Zara now offers is a direct result of the small business coaching program.

“Three months ago I had an idea—I now have a business I am proud of and offer my services to 30,000 people in my niche group, and I didn’t even have a niche before I embarked on this fantastic course! I am a true entrepreneur success story. I haven’t any previous experience of creating my own customer base but I’m now equipped with a deep understanding of how to offer what my clients want as well as why I do what I do. Each day brings new business opportunities and clients, and I feel fantastic! Michael Port and the Booked Solid team offer support and encouragement at every stage of the program to help form greater clarity, gain focus and get on with achieving true business potential. My experience of the past few months has been one of tremendous personal growth, a terrific learning curve and a strong sense of achievement. The quality service I now offer is the direct result of my participation in the program – this course has been the most fundamental element of my transition to owning and running a successful business – it’s one of the best investments I have ever
made. I now support Head Teachers and Principals in strengthening their leadership capabilities, so without having to give up their personal life in the process, they get the balance right, now!”

Smarter small business marketing got Wayne booked solid, plus an inbox flooded with new leads.

“Michael, you are an amazing gift. I have to thank you for the Book Solid Entrepreneurial Mastery Program. Before you, I was lucky to sign up a client per month. I’d struggle my way through training program after training program but since this program, my confidence is through the roof and I am passionate about how On-Air Publicity.com is helping authors and others become great radio guests and in the process I’ve become a small business success story. I’m happy to say in the last 2 weeks I’ve booked 4 new clients and my in-box is flooded with leads. I am now booked solid and it’s only going to get better. You showed me how to believe again. I can’t thank you enough!”

Lorraine confesses: she didn’t do all the exercises, but she still got booked solid, and it happened quickly!

“How to get more clients for professional services? The nagging question was gnawing at me constantly. Then the invitation to learn how to “Book Yourself Solid” appeared. I had read so many books, enrolled in so many teleseminars (most of them awful!), listened to tapes and CD’s all of which promised miracles. There were no miracles! I was struggling and didn’t want to enroll in yet another empty promise, learning experience.

Then a recommendation for Michael’s work came from Bea Fields, who is an entrepreneur success story. I have such respect for her that I was convinced that I should sign up. I wanted to be an entrepreneur success story also. I have met so many wonderfully powerful people on the weekly calls and have learned so much. Admittedly, I have not contributed the written homework exercises over the past weeks because guess what? I am booked solid and it happened quickly! I learned how to narrow my target market and I learned what markets I don’t want to pursue. This one thing was invaluable!

Anyone wanting more clients HAS to learn from Michael and the Booked Solid crew how to take the necessary actions to get booked solid and be a small business success story. Many claim to have the secrets to marketing but Michael’s claim is that he will teach you how to market ~ and he does!”

And to top it all off, Michael creates a community of learners quickly and leverages the incredible gifts that each participant brings to the circle. How that happens is magical. I had the privilege of meeting participants in my own neighborhood. We might never have met otherwise!

Booked solid by week 8, publishing the once-forgotten e-newsletter: living proof that this small business coaching program works!

“I’m now in month 3 of the program. While I’ve kept up with the weekly calls and readings, I haven’t had time to submit my homework since week 8, because I’ve been so booked solid since then! And, as you see, I’m one of Michael’s small business success stories. Michael’s program helped me implement the many things I knew I should be doing in an improved systematic method, and gave me more ideas for other things to do. For example, I’ve published a monthly e-newsletter for years. Michael spent one call emphasizing the importance of including an offer in e-newsletters. After making a special offer in my last issue, that immediately generated two new consulting clients. The blend of intensive homework, 1 on 1 coaching, group calls and forum discussions work effectively in booking yourself solid. I’m living proof!”

No more “wrong clients.” Michael showed Trish to follow her instincts, now she’s booked solid with clients she loves to work with.

“The one word that sums up Michael Port for me is empowering.

These days, there is a business coach on every street corner, hawking their proven path to millions. Too often, these so-called paths are prescriptive “do this, then do” that recipe that may or may not work (no guarantee). They perpetuate the idea that those of us who are in the process of growing successful businesses don’t really know what we need to know, that we can’t trust our own insights and must rely on theirs.

Michael is exactly the opposite. Yes, he does share strategies to book a business solid, and they are great strategies. Yes, he does share insights from his own experiences, and they are really useful. But at every turn, in every call, he reminded me that I do in fact know what I need to know and that I can trust my own insights. That, for me, is what made the program so powerful and put the controls in my own hands and cheered me on to win.

When I began the course, I was booked solid with the wrong clients. I knew I was in a fix, but I wasn’t sure how to remedy the situation. The Booked Solid team made me stop and think about my true target market and what direction I really wanted to take in my business. As a result, I am now booked solid with clients I love working with, and business is growing briskly!

Thanks to Michael and his team for consistently reminding me that I have everything I need to be an entrepreneur success story right between my ears!”

Most recommended, out of all conferences attended across the globe.

“I have attended hundreds of personal development workshops and trainings in North America, Europe and India over the last twenty years. Michael Port’s Booked Solid program is only one of a rare handful which I can recommend without reservations. It deserves extraordinary praise.

Michael is clearly an expert in his chosen field and he has the wonderful ability to present his material with passion and heart. He is extraordinarily committed to providing astonishing value and delivers the material in ways that make the program educational, doable, practical and fun. The outstanding support of his co-facilitator, Lisa Wilder, adds so much to an already top notch program.

Any participant who applies him or herself will make tremendous and guaranteed progress to becoming a small business success story. If you’d like to be booked solid and have a sincere desire to participate with what I consider the world’s top training on this topic, your business is sure to expand tremendously. Michael offers so much value that he could charge many times the tuition fee and still be known for offering tremendous return on investment.

Many thanks, Michael for your fantastic contribution to my business expansion.”

“As a CPA…I have always found marketing difficult…something I didn’t really like doing, or want to do…and consequently…didn’t do. Of course…I have known for some time that I needed to market my practice. But I really had no idea how to go about it until I began the program. And I have been really surprised at how this system has given me such a different outlook about marketing. There is so much more to marketing than I previously envisioned. Now…instead of dreading and avoiding it…I am excited about it. And I am beginning to see much BIGGER possibilities than I did before. Michael, you have provided such a wealth of information…that is so valuable and so practical…so essential and so helpful. One of the most important, significant, and meaningful benefits I have received from Booked Solid is a new awareness that I really want to make a difference in people’s lives…that I want to do more than just technically excellent tax work. And that our work is meant to be a reflection of who we are…not just a paycheck.”
